The star of NBA LeBron James and sports analyst Stephen A. Smith caught up in a dispute over Smith’s commentary about LeBron’s son, Bronny James, and said he should go to G-League and not ready for the NBA event. From that moment on, both of them throw notes back and forth when James ridiculed Smith on Instagram.
The voltage between LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith began on March 6, when LeBron confronted Smith Courtside during the Lakers game. The news stated that James was angry with Smith’s comment on his son, Bronny James, and demanded that Smith stop criticizing him. According to sources James said, “Yo, you have to stop talking to ** about my son. You have to stop with my son. That’s my son, that’s my son!”
Smith responded quickly and called James’s confrontation “Bulls ** and weak”. Later he doubled his position and said his coverage of Bronny James was fair and objective. Smith stressed that the discussion of the bronny basketball path, including its selection in the second round of the NBA 2024 design, was in his journalistic just.

No one who was silent, Smith hit James during the segment at first glance. He criticized LeBron for being “in his feelings” and accused him of being upset from the ongoing goat debate because Smith still evaluates Michael Jordan nad James.
“He releases several pages about me with a boxer ten years ago with two torn rotator cuffs. Okay, no problem. It’s embarrassing, I admit it. But it shows how Petty LeBron happened,” Smith said.
In addition, Smith addressed the viral nature of his dispute and acknowledged that while he benefited from the conversation about LeBron for the evaluation, his main problem remains James’s reaction to the coverage of his son.
Where now stands the dispute
James and Stephen refused to retreat. While Smith claims that Bronny James unfairly criticized, LeBron remains protected by his son’s career, which explains that it challenges any negative comment.
“Stephen and Smith are just on Taylor Swift.”

Lebron’s latest Jab in Smith came after his winning buzzer, who won Bummer, helped to ensure an exciting victory in Los Angeles Lakers over Indiana Pacers. Meanwhile, Smith continues to defend his attitude and claims that he will not tolerate personal confrontations, but he would not have become physical.
